The 's' mailer flag doesn't affect the addresses in the header of the
message. It affects only the envelope addresses that are sent to the
remote SMTP server with the MAIL FROM and RCPT TO commands.
To test this, create two sendmail.cf files -- one with the 's' flag
for the SMTP mailer, and one without it. Using each of those files,
run "/usr/lib/sendmail -oi -t -v" on this message:
----- cut here -----
To: "/foo=12/bar=bazz/quux=frobnitz/foo./"@x400.gateway.host
Subject: This is a test.
This is a test.
----- cut here -----
Here's what happens when I do this (note the "RCPT To" lines in each
case):
